arghhh!
worm: make sure that you are not using the ‘&’ ampersand symbol. It tells the Flash file to stop reading. If you must use it, use the following:

Yes it is supposed to help you.[AS]System.useCodepage = true;[/AS] allows you to use accented characters.
okay, heres the next thing, i also want to dynamically load jpegs into my movies but that wont work either.
<quote>
onClipEvent (load) {
loadMovie(“architecturaldrawing.jpg”, “container”);
}
</quote>
what else do i need?
It must be a non-progressive .jpg image.
Usually the option for progressive or not comes up while saving as a .jpg format.
still doesnt work. i saved it as baseline (using adobe photoshop)
oh, got it to work. heres the code i used
<quote>
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1);
container.loadMovie(“drawing2.jpg”);
container._x = container._y = 50 ;
_root.onMouseDown = function () {
startDrag (“container”,false) ;
}
_root.onMouseUp = function () {
stopDrag () ;
}
</quote>
one last thing b4 i pester u guys to death, is there a way to resize the image.
thanx 4 the help
[AS]_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1);
container.loadMovie(“drawing2.jpg”);
container._x = container._y = 50 ;
_root.onMouseDown = function () {
startDrag (“container”,false) ;
}
_root.onMouseUp = function () {
stopDrag () ;
}
_root.container.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (this._width > 0){
this._width = 100;
this._height = 200;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}[/AS]
You can only manipulate a loaded item once it is fully loaded. In the case of dynamically loading a .jpg you can easily check if it is fully loaded by checking the width of the clip that holds it. If the width of the clip is greater than 0 then something must be loaded in it right? Well thats when we can do something.
We then set the _width and _height properties (this sizes by exact pixels, you can use _xscale and _yscale to resize by percentage) and then we delete the onEnterFrame because we don’t need to run it anymore for this.
